Chapter 278 Ah, the Milky Way is connected to the Internet?
Yellow Spring No. 8 Foundry World.
A*VIII1248 Machinery Factory.
Several giant furnaces and casting facilities are smelting metal materials, and thick smoke fills the air.
Inside the factory laboratory.
Mechanical Sage Palus is haggard, with tiny arcs of electricity spreading across his body, as he has been thinking intensely for many days.
Putting his electronic brain into overload.
"Great Omnisiah, please give me the light of inspiration. Your followers are eager to gain knowledge..."
Parus knelt down and prayed devoutly, praying for a glimmer of hope. .
After praying, he suppressed his trembling hands and controlled the machine to continue the experiment.
Bang——
Sparks ignited.
The materials in the crucible were destroyed again.
The experiment failed again...
Zila~
"Is it true that the God of Machinery no longer favors me?"
More electric arcs exploded on Parus, and the continuous failures made the mechanical sage fall into self-doubt.
He couldn't even find the reason for the failure.
In recent years, Palus has repeatedly failed to fulfill the tasks assigned by the Forge World.
At every meeting of the Mechanical Sages, he is the one who cannot hold his head up.
And he was often ridiculed by his rivals, and his funding was cut.
Not only at work, but also in the research on special-shaped materials that he regards as his lifelong career, there has been no progress.
This feeling of being cut off and losing hope is extremely painful.
The circuits in the laboratory are flickering in light and dark, and making a sizzling sound.
A trace of black energy leaked out of Palus' mechanical body, and something in his consciousness data seemed to be tempting him:
Surrender and fall into the arms of the true God of Wisdom, and you will have the answers to all your questions!
Parus clearly realized that as long as he threw himself into the other side, he would immediately gain the knowledge that he had been seeking for many years.
At this moment, he finally understood why those members of the Black Mechanicus resolutely stepped into Chaos.
The road ahead is cut off, and the knowledge he dreams of is right in front of him. All he needs to pay is an agreement.
Not many tech-priests can resist this temptation.
Neither can he.
"Great God of Wisdom, I am willing to accept this gift..."
Parus's scarlet electronic eyes were covered with dark green, and he knelt in a strange posture, with his palms stretched upward. Beg religiously.
Pray to the Almighty for knowledge.
Drip——
A sudden alarm interrupted everything.
Parus woke up with a start, stepped back suddenly and knocked down the medicine shelf, and the turbid medicine dripped on the ground.
At this time, he discovered that everything around him had been covered with a layer of black plaque at some point.
His heart was beating violently, as if in fear and pity: "God of machinery, I almost went astray!"
The mechanical sage clearly realized that, If it happened again, he would no longer be able to resist the temptation of knowledge.
Huh——
The laboratory fell into silence.
The piston of the mechanical lung moves slowly and creaks.
Soon, Parus' attention turned to the alarm: "The alarm in the furnace area?
Well, that was the alarm set 10 years ago..."
< br>
As the electronic brain retrieved monitoring information, he saw a strange mechanical box.
The above is the coat of arms of a certain forging world.
He was very curious, was this thing sent by the existence last time?
The can of fuel drink from before is still fresh in my memory.
Parus couldn’t wait and went to take back the mysterious mechanical box himself.
Then close the laboratory door tightly.
After several inspection procedures, it was confirmed that the black mechanical box had no traces of high-risk substances or chaos.
He carefully opened the mechanical box.
The moment the box was opened, the rich smell of holy oil filled the air.
Parus could tell that it was the smell of high-quality holy oil, which made him feel relieved.
To be able to use holy oil of such quality, it must be a mechanical creation made by members of this sect.
However, when he took out the contents of the box, he was stunned.
In addition to two cans of mechanical fuel drinks of different shapes, there is also an ordinary data pad.
At the same time, it comes with an instruction manual written in binary language.
Parus scanned the page of binary characters, and instantly a large amount of information poured into his mind.
Translated into Low Gothic, it probably looks like this:
Mechanical Forum, open the door to knowledge!
Knowledge sharing, theoretical exchanges, friendship and cooperation, doctrinal debates, surfing and swearing, hundreds of millions of oil guys welcome you to join.
Here’s to the genius Kaul!
By the way, remember to try the most delicious authentic brand of mechanical fuel drink.
Moss Improved brand is more delicious! ——Moss, the Great Sage of Biology.
A long binary exchange:
Kaul: I am *****.
Moss:**********.
After that, there is a tutorial on making the "Mechanical Forum Special Edition" data board.
There is also a signal channel adjustment tutorial that tells him how to find the signal channel of the Mechanical Forum.
To avoid being unable to log into the forum after the initial data board is damaged.
"Mechanical Forum?"
Parus was quite curious. He could understand what this was, probably some kind of cluster communication that could send information.
Generally used in important meetings or during battles.
But what are forums and surfing dating?
He doesn’t have much idea.
After all, under normal circumstances, humans in the empire basically use communicators. Under the influence of subspace, there is no concept of the Internet.
In extreme cases, the most primitive parchment is used to write letters for communication.
With great curiosity, Palus activated the data tablet, and the emblem of the Erth Mechanicus flashed on the high-definition screen.
After that, you quickly entered the interface.
On the interface, there is only a software with a gear pattern and nothing else.
Soon, Parus clicked into the machinery forum.
A registration page then popped up, showing that it needed to pass a test before being eligible to register a forum account.
"It seems that this is a group organization of a certain mechanical faction. You have to meet the threshold to join..."
Strictly speaking, the Adeptus Mechanicus is an alliance composed of a group of technical personnel. The organization is relatively loose and has too many factions and small groups.
Some forge worlds do not even obey orders from the Martian headquarters.
Perhaps the only thing they agree on is their belief in Omnisiah, and their loyalty to the empire comes second.
After all, they are a privileged group and the empire needs them.
Some extreme sects will split off and even fall into the embrace of Chaos, and are known as the Black Mechanicus.
Not all the Black Mechanicus have fallen into the arms of the Chaos Gods. Sometimes they just have too radical theories and conduct too in-depth subspace research.
Parus didn’t think much about it.
He lowered his head and began to answer the test questions on the page, but the more he did, the more frightened he became.
As the questions went deeper, the questions became more and more difficult, and there were even many mysterious questions that were too complicated for him to answer.
The mechanical sage's forehead began to seep with engine oil, and he became serious.
After all, this organization called "Mechanical Forum" has real materials, and the level of the person who asked the question is much higher than him.
At this moment, he devoted himself to answering questions and eager to join the machinery forum.
I hope this organization can gain the knowledge it wants through communication, as mentioned before.
"God of Machinery, I need more time!"
When a scarlet and eye-catching countdown appeared on the screen, Palus's nervousness reached the limit.
However, the answer page was closed ruthlessly and entered the grading stage.
He waited anxiously.
As the progress bar progressed, his electronic eye detector showed that his heartbeat had exceeded the normal state.
Parus began to doubt himself:
"I have not reached the entry threshold, right? How could the Mechanical Forum allow me to enter as a guy like me who has been failing in research?"
When the progress bar runs out, the score appears on the screen: 60 points.
“Congratulations, you have obtained the registration qualification!”
The red salute exploded, and the animated image of Xiaoling’s mechanical girl congratulated the person who answered the question.
“Praise Omnisiah!”
Parus’s hanging heart was finally relieved.
He excitedly registered an account, and then gave it a nickname as required: "Knowledge Seeker"
Then he entered the forum and started browsing the content.
Top content of the forum:
Vote, which one is better, the authentic brand mechanical fuel drink or the Moss improved brand mechanical fuel drink?
There are various questions and articles on the forum:
What are the nutritional values of ant beef, and how to cook it more deliciously?
How to improve the defense and durability of paint?
What are the innovative applications of special-shaped materials in improving the performance of weapon systems?
What is the true level of the Savior’s gaming ability?
Titan rear aircraft design drawing, please correct me.
Taboo topic: Slaanesh desire demon training idea... (banned from shelves, account banned for one month!)
A reward of two hundred gear coins is offered, please give me a body modification plan, I want to be handsome!
The Xiaoling believers gather, I am your dog!
Does anyone know what this place is for? I'm a little scared...
Reply:
1. Anonymous user: Hey, is there a new guy? 2. ** Sage: Give me two gear coins and I will tell you. 3. Urgent, urgent! Big guys, please beg me. The project will be delivered tomorrow. Give me a few gear coins. I’m only 30 away from buying the computing power service of Goddess Xiao Ling...
Can this be done?
Parus seems to have opened the door to a new world.
At first, he was cautious, worried that this was a conspiracy by some subspace entity.
But he quickly integrated into the forum and roughly understood how the forum operates.
And understand how important gear coins are.
After browsing the contents of the hall for a while, Palus was still unsatisfied.
The way of thinking and perspective on those questions are so novel that it makes people unable to stop.
Then, he tried to ask a question he encountered in the research of alien materials, and it came with a reward of 100 gear coins.
He only has so many initial gear coins, which are required to publish academic questions.
Soon, a high-level member of the sage level responded and gave a detailed answer.
“Yes, this is the answer I want!”
Parus was very excited.
The answer to the unsolvable problem for many days was obtained so simply.
In this forum, the circulation and exchange of knowledge is so natural that it is unimaginable elsewhere.
Few members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are willing to share their knowledge, and the struggle for knowledge can even lead to war.
However, in this forum it is achieved.
He couldn't imagine what made these members willing to share their knowledge.
Palu did not continue to delve into this issue. He suddenly thought of a possibility and took a deep breath.
Then, tremblingly, he entered a core issue in the research of alien materials into the post.
Seek answers.
This problem has troubled him for decades!
However, the next moment he was stunned.
The post shows that if you want to offer a reward for this problem, you need 50,000 gear coins...
Where can he get so many gear coins?
Soon, Palus found the answer.
In addition to answering other people's questions and posting professional articles to get rewards, you can also directly exchange your knowledge for gear coins!
Parus clicked into the knowledge base page. He seemed to have entered an ocean of knowledge. All kinds of knowledge in the mechanical field that he could imagine were available here, with clearly marked prices.
What an amazing database!
You spend gear coins to unlock the knowledge you want.
If you don’t have gear coins, you can also upload your knowledge to exchange for gear coins, and then unlock the knowledge you need.
Parus finally understood why everyone was willing to share knowledge on this mysterious forum.
Because this way they can get more rewards!
That knowledge is so tempting.
After turning a few pages, he couldn't take his eyes away.
"Special-shaped material fusion technology?"
After seeing the relevant content introduction, Palus was sure that it was the knowledge that he had been pursuing so hard and couldn't get!
This information will definitely allow him to break through the bottleneck and continue his research.
However, the price tag above is very expensive: 100,000 gear coins!
Fortunately, the Mechanical Forum provides a quick way to earn gear coins, just upload your knowledge.
Parus hesitated for a moment, then inserted the data interface on his body into the data board.
Start uploading the knowledge and data you have.
He longs for those alien knowledge!
After uploading, he waited anxiously for acceptance, with a hint of fear.
What if this is a scam?
The knowledge he uploaded contains some knowledge unique to the Forging World of Huang Quan No. 8.
But soon, he gave up this doubt.
Because, he saw other knowledge about several forging worlds that he was familiar with on the mechanical forum.
I am not alone, other technical priests have also shared their knowledge.
This kind of knowledge exchange will only make them more knowledgeable.
Besides, everyone is a member of the Mechanicus, and such behavior does not involve heresy.
This is not without danger. He may be punished by the casting director of Huang Quan No. 8.
But Palus can't control so much. Compared with falling into chaos, the risk is already very small.
As long as you are careful, no one will know that you did it. After all, which technical priest doesn't have his own secrets.
Soon, Palus received his reward, which was about 90,000 gear coins.
If someone purchases his knowledge in the future, he can also get a share of the income.
Not long after, someone purchased a certain piece of knowledge he uploaded and earned a thousand gear coins.
"Come on, I will get the secrets about alien materials right away!"
Parus continued to participate in the mechanical forum, answering other members' questions and earning some gear coins. .
…
A few months later.
Parus drank the fuel drink leisurely and replied on the top post related to the fuel drink:
The authentic brand of fuel drink is really delicious, I can taste it in it The smell of fermented holy oil, among which...
He wrote a large related paper arrogantly.
Palus has been doing well recently. He has redeemed the knowledge he dreamed of, and his research has made further progress.
Over the past few days, he has been in the forum and acquired more new knowledge than he had in the past hundred years.
Now he feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t browse the mechanical forum for a day.
“I’m learning!”
He thought.
Suddenly, a mechanical pattern of burning flames floated across the page. That was Master Kaul entering the forum!
Parus is very familiar with these logos. Senior members of the Mechanical Forum have special logos and special effects.
Unfortunately, he is not level enough to have these.
"Master Kaul liked my post?"
Parus was quite excited because this mysterious master had unparalleled knowledge.
Well loved by forum members.
More importantly, Master Kaul was generous.
Sure enough, after liking it, Parus received a reward of one thousand gear coins.
He may not be able to earn so many gear coins even if he works for a month, which further strengthens his idea of becoming an authentic fuel drinker.
Soon, Palus charged into battle for Master Kaul, angrily denounced those evil fuel-drinking schools.
But he didn't realize that he had unknowingly transformed into the shape of a mechanical forum.
Drip——
The communication signal of the servo skull lights up.
That was a communication from the Foundry General, urging them to attend the Mechanical Mages meeting tomorrow and deliver the research project at the same time.
“Oops, my project tasks haven’t started yet...”
Palus suddenly realized that he had been busy reading mechanical forums and doing his own experiments these days.
He was only halfway through the task assigned above.
After Lord Guilliman, son of the Emperor, Primarch of the Ultramarines, and Prince Regent, announced the Indomitus Crusade to avenge Chaos.
With the gathering of a huge army, transportation logistics and large-scale production tasks become more important.
The major forge worlds are undertaking heavy production tasks and need to optimize and develop more advanced armaments.
As a mechanical sage, Palus was also assigned corresponding tasks.
And this mission is an urgent mission, and the foundry director personally handled it.
The task will be delivered tomorrow, and the mechanical sages who fail to complete it will inevitably be punished.
Even though time was so tight, he didn't worry too much.
Because of the existence of the mechanical goddess Xiaoling!
Palus was assigned a certain complex data calculation task, which could be calculated using his own electronic brain.
It takes a lot of time.
However, with the help of Xiaoling's computing power, he can complete the calculation several times or even dozens of times faster.
Hashing power is a bit expensive, and the specific speed depends on how many gear coins he can take out.
Fortunately, Parus still had a lot of gear coins left, so he immediately spent more than two thousand gear coins to connect to the data board and upload the relevant data.
With the intervention of Xiao Ling.
The capacity of his electronic brain seemed to have expanded several times in an instant, swimming in the ocean of data.
What a wonderful feeling...
"Praise the mechanical goddess!"
He praised devoutly, and then immediately started the calculation task.
The night passed.
Palus went to the Forge Palace refreshed to attend the meeting of the Mechanical Sage.
At the meeting.
The Foundry Director was furious because half of the Mechanical Magi failed to successfully complete their assigned emergency tasks.
When it was Palus' turn to deliver, he easily handed over the test results, completely crushing his old rival in terms of accuracy.
Making him furious.
Moreover, because he completed the task well, he was praised by the foundry director and called him the precious brain of Huangquan No. 8.
Not only Palus was praised, but also several other mechanical sages who handed over perfect research results were also praised.
"Sure enough, with the Mechanical Forum, we can be 'way ahead' on the road of research as the forum said!"
Parus was secretly excited, and he took a look Several other appreciated mechanical mages.
He knew how these mechanical sages came up with such good research results.
Because they are also members of the Mechanical Forum.
He developed it himself!
…
Agrippina Forge World.
In the machinery hall.
"Damn idiots, how dare they leak the precious knowledge of this world!"
A certain alchemist master was holding on to a captured data pad, which was taken from a technical priest under his command. Found.
He was furious: "I want to report it to the foundry director to completely eliminate you traitors!"
The alchemist master was resolute, and such behavior will not be allowed to happen in this forging world again.
He looked over the dataslate to see what had bewitched those idiots.
"Praise Omnisiah, what a wonderful alchemical ritual!"
It didn't take long for the alchemist master to widen his electronic eyes, and he was anxious to gain knowledge.
But there is no way to unlock it.
As a last resort, he ordered the machine soldiers to release the technical priest and raise the barrier at the same time.
Quietly ask him for advice on how to use the mechanical forum...
——
Earth Star.
The Spire Mansion.
Ron sat at his desk, looking at the files.
After reading the relevant documents of the online trade shopping software, he began to look at the development report of the Machinery Forum.
These days, the Mechanic Forum has attracted millions of Mechanicus members to provide them with related services.
At the same time, a series of contents have been updated, such as titles, special effects, personal space, tens of thousands of sub-sections, etc.
Furthermore, due to the activity of attracting new members and receiving gear coins, the membership of the Mechanical Forum is still expanding.
Same as Ron thought.
The Mechanical Forum provides a communication platform for engine oil guys without the interference of chaos, and is very popular among members of the Mechanicum.
The exchange of knowledge has provided every member with immeasurable benefits.
Those Mechanicus members uploaded a lot of knowledge.
In addition to personal research knowledge, it also includes core knowledge of certain important vehicles.
As a result, the database of Erth Mechanicum has accumulated terrifying technical data.
If this continues, one day the Erth Mechanicus will surpass Mars and possess the largest database in the galaxy.
Of course, due to the overall improvement in the strength of the Mechanicus members, the empire has also enjoyed benefits.
However, the biggest benefit was that he gained the territory. The immeasurable wealth of knowledge accelerated the development of the territory.
Today, the territory has launched vigorous scientific research and large-scale production.
In addition, due to the huge accumulation of data and the worship of members of the Mechanicum, the small spirit has become more powerful.
Ron had a vague feeling that Xiao Ling, a machine soul, had a tendency to become some kind of conceptual god.
No matter what you say, it is a good thing.
But as the mechanical forum expands, it will inevitably be exposed and may be attacked.
At the same time, the lives of forum members were threatened.
This is something he doesn't want to see.
Ron frowned, thinking of a way to solve it.
He did not want this incident to cause a bloody storm within the Mechanicus, or even start a war.
But at this point, he couldn't stop.
Ron thought of a way, gritted his teeth and wanted to send a message to Caul: "No matter what method you use, absorb more members and accelerate expansion!"
......
Half a year later.
Yellow Spring No. 8 Foundry World.
Mechanical Palace.
Boom——
The huge mechanical foot smashed the metal floor.
"We must launch a war, take back knowledge, and arrest those traitors!"
The foundry director is holding a data pad on a certain mechanical arm.
The anger caused thick black smoke to evaporate from the mechanical body more than ten meters high...
